Bio: Brainchild of Brazilian guitar aficionado Fabio Rocha.  Megahard Records full length debut Fatal Mistake from 2000 went under heading "Fabio Rocha’s Shining Star".  Nando Fernandes handled vocals and Andria and Ivan Busic bass and drums respectively.  Re-mixed and re-issued on Avantage Records in 2005 – under heading "Shining Star" - with Juliano Collombo on drums and Rocha bass.

Enter Eternity (also from 2005) was fronted by Lance King (Avian, Krucible) while including the rhythm section of Juliano Collombo (drums) and Kuky Sanchez (bass).

The 2008 effort Reset featured both a new vocalist, Ricardo Parronchi (Destra), and rhythm section: Juliano (drums) and Rodrigo (bass) Collombo.    

Of Interest: Ricardo Parronchi is also the bassist of Destra, having performed on the group’s 2000 debut Sea Of Doubt and 2004 follow up effort Joe’s Rhapsody.  Lance King has previously been a member of Balance Of Power and Pyramaze while participating on projects with Defyance, Empire, The King’s Machine and others.
